The episode starts off with Buster who waves goodbye to [[Bitzi Baxter|his mom]]. He then sees [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] holding a box and asks what's in it. Arthur tells him they are chocolates and Buster mistakes it for an art project they had to create using chocolate that he forgot to take note of in class.

Buster tries to sell chocolates to various people including the [[Tibble Twins]], but he has not sold one box, largely due to his poor presentation skills in offering them to each person. | The episode starts off with Buster who waves goodbye to [[Bitzi Baxter|his mom]].

Buster decides to do the same and Ms. Krasny questions whether Buster could sell that many and Buster tells her he knows chocolate more then anyone else. Buster tries to sell chocolates to various people including the Tibble Twins, but he has not sold one box, largely due to his poor presentation skills in offering them to each person.
Francine then comes and tells Buster she only sold four boxes, Brain has sold six, and Prunella is doing better as she has raised $20 so far. Buster says to her that he hadn't had much luck, but guarantees that he would of sold all the boxes of chocolates by the end of the day.

Binky asks him if he sold any and Buster said no and Binky goes on to tell Buster he sold chocolates to George.

At schoo,l Arthur asks Buster how many boxes he had left and Buster tells him ten. At first, Arthur assumes Buster sold them, but Buster tells him he ate them much to the shock of Arthur. Buster asks Arthur how much he owes Ms. Krasny and Arthur replies $30. Arthur reassures Buster that they will think of something.

The nightmare ends just as he seems to approach the closet door.
The next morning, however, Buster discovers he ate the chocolates and goes to Arthur's house and tells him about what happened. He then imagines what will happen when the band doesn't get new instruments.

Soon, Buster has made $36 and then Mr. Haney shows up and decides to partake in Buster's sale. However, he tries one of the chocolates and finds that they taste terrible, and soon all of the customers who bought Buster's chocolates return and demand their money back.
At school, Buster and his mom in the principal's office and Mr. Haney comes in and tells him that the supporter of the band will pay off Buster's debt under one condition. He has to work at a store for a couple hours this week and Buster is nervous about it. Mr. Haney, however, reassures him that the will do alright working at the store. Buster is seen working at Jack's Joke shop and Arthur comes in to see how he is doing.

Trivia
- A man who Buster tries to sell chocolate to says he is allergic to chocolate, however, when Buster is selling "Buster Clusters", the man buys a box.
- Mr. Haney is among Buster's customers when he buys some of the Buster Clusters; when Buster explains it's to raise new instruments for the school band, Mr. Haney seems surprised at the news of this fundraiser as if he were previously unaware of it, which doesn't make sense as he is the principal of the school, and thus would be fully aware of this fundraiser. It is possible he was confused because what Buster was selling was not the original product.
- In the very beginning, George is shown to be wearing a red orange shirt.
